[FIXED] Jenkins Credentials Store Access via Groovy

Issue

I have found a way to access the credentials store in Jenkins:

def getPassword = { username ->
    def creds = com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.lookupCredentials(
        com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.common.StandardUsernamePasswordCredentials.class,
        jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance
    )

    def c = creds.findResult { it.username == username ? it : null }

    if ( c ) {
        println "found credential ${c.id} for username ${c.username}"

        def credentials_store = jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.getExtensionList(
            'com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SystemCredentialsProvider'
            )[0].getStore()

         println "result: " + credentials_store
    } else {
      println "could not find credential for ${username}"
    }
}

getPassword("XYZ")

But now i would like to get the password for the appropriate user which i can't do...

I always get unknown method etc. if i try to access passord etc.

The reason for doing this is to use this user/password to call git and extract information from repository..

I always get something like this:

result: com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SystemCredentialsProvider$StoreImpl@1639eab2

Update

After experimenting more (and the hint of Jeanne Boyarsky) with it i found that i was thinking to compilcated. The following already gives me the password for the user:

def getUserPassword = { username ->
    def creds = com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.lookupCredentials(
            com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.common.StandardUsernamePasswordCredentials.class,
            jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance
            )

    def c = creds.findResult { it.username == username ? it : null }

    if ( c ) {
        return c.password
    } else {
        println "could not find credential for ${username}"
    }
}

Furthermore by using the following snippet you can iterate over the whole credentials store:

def credentials_store = jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.getExtensionList(
        'com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SystemCredentialsProvider'
        )

println "credentials_store: ${credentials_store}"
println " Description: ${credentials_store.description}"
println " Target: ${credentials_store.target}"
credentials_store.each {  println "credentials_store.each: ${it}" }

credentials_store[0].credentials.each { it ->
    println "credentials: -> ${it}"
    if (it instanceof com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.impl.UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl) {
        println "XXX: username: ${it.username} password: ${it.password} description: ${it.description}"
    }
}

And you will get an output like this:

[(master)]:
credentials_store: [com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SystemCredentialsProvider@5a2822be]
 Description: [The descriptions...]
 Target: [com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SystemCredentialsProvider@5a2822be]
credentials_store.each: com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SystemCredentialsProvider@5a2822be
credentials: -> com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.sshcredentials.impl.BasicSSHUserPrivateKey@38357ca1
credentials: -> com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.sshcredentials.impl.BasicSSHUserPrivateKey@47cf7703
credentials: -> com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.impl.UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl@739abac5
XXX: username: User1 password: Password description: The description of the user.
credentials: -> com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.impl.UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl@884a53e6
XXX: username: User2 password: Password1 description: The description of the user1.
Result:   [com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.sshcredentials.impl.BasicSSHUserPrivateKey@38357ca1, com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.sshcredentials.impl.BasicSSHUserPrivateKey@47cf7703, com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.impl.UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl@739abac5, com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.impl.UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl@884a53e6]

So by using the appropriate class in the instanceof clause you can select what you need.

Solution

This works. It gets the credentials rather than the store.

I didn't write any error handling so it blows up if you don't have a credentials object set up (or probably if you have two). That part is easy to add though. The tricky part is getting the right APIs!

def getPassword = { username ->
    def creds = com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.lookupCredentials(
        com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.common.StandardUsernamePasswordCredentials.class,
        jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance
    )

    def c = creds.findResult { it.username == username ? it : null }

    if ( c ) {
        println "found credential ${c.id} for username ${c.username}"

        def systemCredentialsProvider = jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.getExtensionList(
            'com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SystemCredentialsProvider'
            ).first()

      def password = systemCredentialsProvider.credentials.first().password

      println password


    } else {
      println "could not find credential for ${username}"
    }
}

getPassword("jeanne")
